        <![CDATA[<div class="news-header"><h1>Development and trial manufacturing of an Ogg Vorbis-compatible sound decoder LSI equipped with a delta-sigma DAC.</h1>
<h2>It realizes low-clock running and on-chip memory processing with a view toward a low-cost Ogg Vorbis chip</h2></div>

FineArch Inc. - headquartered in Koto Ward, Tokyo; President Ken Ota - has developed and manufactured on a trial basis the LSI ‘FS-500 (FA3121037) Sound Decoder with a low running clock frequency and on-chip memory using Ogg Vorbis, a next-generation sound compression format that is license-royalty free, with “high-fidelity and a high compression rate.”]]>
        <![CDATA[FineArch has devoted particular attention to Ogg Vorbis as an optimal sound compression technology for embedded system devices from its earliest developmental stages. On July 15, 2003, we released an Ogg Vorbis-compatible Portable Music Player System IP. The FS-500 was developed and manufactured as a trial product to verify the processing performance of this System IP working as an actual chip. The special feature of this System IP is that through reevaluation of the hardware and firmware architecture, we have realized a low-clock rate, high-efficiency, and low-memory running while mounting the Ogg Vorbis Playing Process as software.

The existing playing process of Ogg Vorbis with multipurpose CPU software required running of the CPU with a high-clock frequency; external RAM such as SRAM was necessary as a working space for the software. FS-500, however, will allow the running of Ogg Vorbis Stereo Sound Processing with an internal LSI SRAM with an 8 MHz system running frequency. Because FS-500 is equipped with a 32-bit RISC CPU, it can be used as a main controller for embedded system devices. It also has a host interface that can be used as a sub-micro-controller that is dedicated to sound-processing under the control of a host controller. In addition, it can play multiple Ogg Vorbis sound sources simultaneously. It can output to individual speakers with such sound effects as equalizing, echo, panning, and phase-shift stereophonic sound images (Virtual 3D) by taking advantage of the low-clock/high-efficiency running feature. The FS-500 is compatible with Ogg Vorbis, MP3, and other sound formats. Compatible formats will be extended through appropriate updating of the internal CPU/DSP firmware.

FS-500 will be completed and released this year after optimizing the firmware for portable music players, music consoles, educational toys, electric toys, and hobby-related appliances, all the while minimizing its size.

Furthermore, in order to expand our market for Ogg Vorbis appliances, we have been developing a low-priced sound decoder - LSI ‘FS-300’ - for low-end users with refined and limited functions of “Ogg Vorbis-compatible Portable Music Player System IP” verified in the course of the development and trial manufacturing of FS-500.

FS-300 will provide an easy solution to run sound-playing functions such as music, sound, warning alarms and sound effects suitable for toys, electronic dictionaries, home electronics, in-house facilities, security equipment, and so on. We are planning to produce the FS-300 aiming at a two-dollar chip within this year.

<h2>Achieved competitive 12MHz operation, targeting portable music player</h2></div>

FineArch, Inc., Tokyo Japan based semiconductor LSI design company, developed the system IP to decode the next generation digital music compression format, Ogg Vorbis(http://www. vorbis.com). FineArch successfully completed the Ogg vorbis sytstem IP to run at 12 Mhz. This is about 1/6 of the clock speed required to decode Ogg Vorbis with a single CPU system. This ultra low power IP fits well with the today’s portable music player market where battery life is critical factor.]]>
        <![CDATA[Ogg Vorbis is attracting much attention to the digital music world as a "license and royalty free" compression format. Ogg Vorbis is also known as its higher quality, higher compression ratio compared to MP3, current standard of the compression music format.  Encoding and decoding process of Ogg Vorbis is more CPU intensive task than those of MP3. Hardware implementation of Ogg Vorbis has been scarce. FineArch.Inc fully noted the potential of the Ogg Vorbis, developed the Ogg Vorbis playback System IP.

This "System IP" consisted of Hardwared IP and Software IP which needed to build a portable music player. It has all the necessary components to build a standard portable music player.

"Hardware IP" includes "MultiCore Architecture"; CPU and DSP, Memory card interface, External memory interface, LCD controller, and Key input function. Only external memory and audio D/A converter is needed to build a complete portable player system.

"Software IP" includes DSP firmware do decode Ogg vorbis and the CPU firmware for overall system control.  Fully utilizing the advantage of MultiCore architecture system sofware stacks are carefully distributed to CPU and DSP, achieving 12 MHz. This is the lowest system clock speed in the industry known today. 

This "System IP" will be licensed to any customers looking for the royalty free, high quality digital music decoding capabilities on their system. Such system includes the portable music player,the game console, PDA, and the portable music entertainment system. FineArch also has the FPGA evaluation kit, which can be ordered directly.
